URBAN Guitar for Negative User Reviews

✓ App keeps crashingI’ve been working on practicing the rhythms of some of the songs and half way through the exercises the app crashes and closes, losing all the progress put it. It causes me to start from the beginning of the exercise and and not allowing me to work on the cords that need practice. This is the only issue I’ve came across so far; but other than that I’ve enjoyed the app and the walkthroughs. I would like it they thought you how you’re properly suppose to strum; or how to better use your right hand..VolTage DubstepVersion: 1.0.19

✓ Why only one guitar?I like the app, it has amazing resources and it has people who really know what they are doing. But it is a bit aggravating that it won’t let you use any other Yamaha guitar and it requires you to use a specific guitar. I don’t want to spend $250 on a guitar to use an app when I could just use the guitar I already have. If it could please be possible to make it so it lets you use any Yamaha guitar that would be awesome..Only one guitarVersion: 1.0.22

✓ Gets worse and worseThe ability of the app to recognize accurately chords and strums just gets worse. And now if you miss one chord/strum it marks the next 2 one 3 wrong in the feedback bar. Or the bar will be all green with 2 tiniest bits of red and its 91% accuracy (then 9% of the bar should be red not .5%). Rhythm sections are strung together with each section advancing in difficulty…so when you mess up in the 3rd you can’t just go to that section to practice you have to do the parts you didn’t have a problem with and sometimes your fingers get tired before you can focus on what you are actually having problems with. Also you have the ability to slow tempo on sections but when you do it fails to recognize any strums played (thus pointless).The content is lacking any sort of actual help on how to play the guitar well focusing on chord shapes and some strumming… nothing on pick angles how to move your arm or wrist for better sounds. I’ve been using the app for 11 months, 6 days a week and I’ll put it this way. If I didn’t have the urban guitar that the app is designed for I would not use it and I’m so frustrated that I will most likely not use it for the remaining songs. The app only adds frustration to the process of learning the guitar and I would rather pay money for different apps or sites..Zomboy78Version: 1.0.12

✓ Terrible app for new playersThe instruction and speed is way too fast. I have been learning with Mel Bay and Hal Leonard for nine months and know how to sight read from first position, know all major , minor and 7th chord shapes and this is way too advanced. First song with a D minor? Not the easiest chord to hit as a beginner. Four finger G major chord before mastering three finger method? Introducing varied strum patterns in song #2? Trying to sip from a fire hose with this one. Guitar is a decent starter, but forget trying to learn with this app..Doyle HargreavesVersion: 1.0.24

✓ It’s alrightI’m kinda aggravating just spent a lot of time making so much progress just for it to be thrown away because it didn’t save and now I have to start the lesson over and lost all my exp but you know it’s fun.KshdknVersion: 1.0.18

✓ Beware! This App accesses photos wothoit permission.App accesses photos without permission no option to remove it..Miffed HorseplayerVersion: 1.2.1

✓ The App keeps crashing!Hi! I have tried to uninstall and reinstall twice with no luck. The app says it’s compatible with my iPad, however, I can’t get passed the picture of Keith Urban. I also am unable to reach app support but was able to leave this review. I really want this to work for my daughter..LKG1616Version: 1.1.0

✓ Can’t register my guitarThe app won’t let me register my guitar. It’s a Ibanez acoustic/Electric. I really wanted to do this app and it just won’t let me use my guitar to continue lessons. Which I would get a Keith Urban guitar but I would like to use mine. I see no point in spending money for a guitar when I already have a really good one..Becky0023Version: 1.0.14

✓ DisappointedI bought the keith Urban guitar several years ago before the app was a thing. I got the CD lessons I wanted to do the app as it would be a lot easier for me to be able to just randomly do it whenever but apparently I can’t because you have to have a serial number found on the newer sold guitars..Ashley10203Version: 1.0.6

✓ Rhythm “tutorial”During the rhythm lessons, the drum is playing a different tempo than what you supposed to be strumming. You’re better off skipping those or playing them on mute..This/Is/Mine?Version: 1.0.24

✓ App gets “stuck”Now that I am into the “songs” part of the lessons, I can’t seem to go back and review previous lessons. I deleted the app and am going to attempt to get back to the desired lesson(s). Was really hoping for more with Keith Urban involved. I like the lady he has teaching, but Keith is not really involved. Shame, cause he is awesome! Duane Davis.Duaned1976Version: 1.0.23

✓ Great Lessons Potential to be greater as an appSo let me start by saying the lessons really are awesome, great content and easily understood. The features in the app are great as well… in theory. The idea of getting instant feedback, as you play! That is amazing. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem as though it works too well. It does not consistently register chords or notes played, or even when you just trying to keep the rhythm, it will fail to register strums of the guitar (without even playing a chord). At times it registers strums, notes and strings pressed when there is silence in the room, and I’m not playing! It’s bizarre. Now I haven’t ruled out that perhaps my phone is the cause, but the phone is not old, and I have no trouble with people hearing me when I make calls. These issues detract from the lessons and my understanding of when I am hitting the keys/ chords/ rhythm etc. if there is a solution to my issue, I would love to hear it. Otherwise, it is difficult to get he full experience do this app..Keggy85Version: 1.0.6
